Precise laser fume extraction for laboratories & research
Optimum working conditions for precise results
In laboratories and research facilities, precise laser fume extraction is crucial to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. Protect your valuable employees and sensitive equipment from harmful emissions and particles generated during laser processing.
Our specially developed extraction systems offer maximum efficiency in removing even the finest particles and gases. At the same time, they ensure low-noise operation to create a pleasant working atmosphere. Thanks to their compact design, they are ideal for confined laboratory spaces and can be flexibly adapted to your work processes.
Laser filters: The centrepiece of your extraction system
The efficiency and safety of a laser fume extraction system depends largely on the quality of its filters. TEKA relies on high-performance laser filters, specially designed for the challenges of Laser processing have been developed.
Our filters offer:
- Maximum separation efficiency: Even the finest particles and harmful gases are reliably retained.
- Long service life: Robust materials and innovative filter technologies ensure a long service life and reduce maintenance costs.
- Easy filter change: Quick and uncomplicated maintenance for minimal downtime.
- Comprehensive protection: HEPA filters and activated carbon filters provide protection against a wide range of pollutants.
The right filter for every application:
We offer a wide selection of laser filters for different laser types and processing methods. Whether laser cutting, -engraving or welding - we will find the optimum filter solution for your requirements.
The underestimated danger: laser smoke and laser dust
Laser cutting and laser welding not only produce precise results, but also highly toxic gases: Laser smoke and laser dust. These fine particles, which are produced during cutting, engraving or welding, can have serious consequences for your health and your machines.
Health risks:
- Respiratory diseases: Inhalation of laser fumes can cause respiratory irritation, coughing, bronchitis and even asthma.
- Eye irritation: The fine particles can irritate the eyes and cause inflammation.
- Skin problems: Contact with laser smoke can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation.
- Long-term effects: In some cases, the substances contained in laser smoke can even be carcinogenic.
Laser extraction: Stationary or mobile - the right solution for your requirements
The choice of the right extraction system depends largely on your individual requirements and spatial conditions. At TEKA, we offer you both stationary and mobile solutions, to meet every requirement.
Stationary extraction:
